| Well gang, I still cannot get my site moved to IIS6. After playing with
everything I know of, now I get an error when I try to run a .dbw file
telling me "You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other
executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be
executed."
I have set every permission I could find to read and execute. The web
site has script and executable permissions. I even reinstalled the plus
2.21 runtime into a folder under the virtual web site folder to make
sure it had the same permissions. I set up a web extension for .dbw
linked to plusrun.exe. I ran Christophers web registry hack to make
sure the path was pointing correctly. I am running out of hair.
Anybody have any ideas? This one is about to kill me and I am also
running out of time. Due to DOD regulations, I need to turn off my old
NT4 server by 31 Dec. 04 so need to get this working.
Thanks,
Charlie

A follow up.
I moved everything to a cgi-bin folder and set it up as a virtual
directory. Now when I click on the dbw file link in that folder, I am
prompted to open or save the file. If I click open, it downloads the
file to my computer and nothing else happens.

Iit seems to me that you, Andrea and I have a similar problem (see my post after yours and Andrea's after mine). You and Andrea seem to be farther along than me . Could you post where you set the permissions and maybe the three of us can make headway to
help all of us.

Are the .dbw files you are trying to run in the same directory as runtime?
I even reinstalled the plus 2.21 runtime into a folder under the virtual web site folder to make sure it had the same permissions.
Where / how did you do this?
I set up a web extension for .dbw linked to plusrun.exe.
What is this ?
I ran Christophers web registry hack to make sure the path was pointing correctly.
I am running out of hair.
I do not know which is doing this to me first, age or programming.<g>

| Charlie,
In IIS 5 that I have you have to map an extension to an application In the Internet Information Services snap-in,
In default webb site properties There is a tab for Home properties to set your default directory and and set it to excute scripts and executables. I then selected the configuration button, in the application mapping gui I selected app mappings and added
.exe to the list and pointed to plusrun.exe.
I now get an error but it is trying to run the .exe Did you try adding .dbw to this list?
Hope this helps

John,
I have tried so many things, I am not sure what ended up what. To the
best of my knowledge, here is what I did to get things working.
1. Reverted to exe files, not dbw files (I could never get dbw files to
run even after setting the web extensions, and file associations, etc.)
2. Placed all exe files in a folder under the default web site that you
want to use.
3. Gave that folder script and executable permissions.
4. Made sure that users (especially internet users) have read, write,
execute
5. Put code in each exe file Set directory to folder with exe files in
it
6. Deleted all ini files in exe folder, let them be auto created with
the correct paths.
7. Turned ON "all unknown cgi programs" in IIS 6 web extensions
I think that got it working, but don't hold me to it. I am still
tweaking.
Good luck
Charlie

John,
Continuing, set the web extensions under IIS manager. It is listed
under the default web folder if you expand it out.
The web hack? See earlier message to me from Christopher. All it does
is make sure the path set in the registry for the program is correct.
Not sure if it is needed or not.
